Traditional stone floor ovens are not only large, heavy and take a long time to heat up, they are also pretty expensive, which means that most people don't get to enjoy the tasty food they create.

At 20kg, Roccbox is light enough for one person to carry, and heats up to 930°F in as little as 15 minutes.

It is available now on Indiegogo at a price of $479 (£340) plus shipping. Final retail price will be slightly higher.

The company has already smashed its $100,000 funding target, despite having a month left to go on Indiegogo. At the time of writing, it had raised $404,384 from 917 backers.

"Making it possible for anyone to own a stone bake oven with even the smallest outdoor space and a limited budget has been a dream of mine since I started The Stone Bake Oven Company 6 years ago," said Founder and CEO Tom Gozney.

"Using the highest quality, commercial-grade materials meant that nothing was compromised during the design and manufacturing of Roccbox."
